Interesting work...I worked for them a while back...Ruth is nice...Michele

Premier Agendas is looking to replenish its stable of writers, copyeditors and proofreaders before starting the 2015-16 planner season. We need: experienced K-12 writers, preferably those with experience using our products in the classroom; creative writers who know how to write engaging, kid-friendly content following a tight editorial scope; knowledgeable writers who are familiar with CCSS, STEM and other educational standards/trends who can easily incorporate those standards into a very tight writing space. We need editors who are extremely detail oriented (repeatedly checking dates, holidays, liturgical colors, etc., can become monotonous to the wrong person). Editors with common sense, who aren't afraid to question details or make suggestions to improve content for our customers. Premier is the market leader in classroom planning. We help children learn time-management and organizational skills through a variety of themed planners and other supplemental materials. We're also always looking specifically for Catholic editors who could review our Faith & Life planner line accurately and to ensure they are in line with the Catholic doctrine. If you think you're the right fit to be a writer or editor, send your resume to ruth.richardson@schoolspecialty.com along with a cover letter outlining your writing interests and educational specialties (science, math, curriculum, language arts, character education, health, etc.). Tell us how you've used planners in the classroom or even at home with your child. Familiarity with our copyrighted onTRAC system is a definite bonus! Candidates must be hired as professional on-call contractors through our payroll system (you'll get paid every two weeks!). This also requires passing a drug-test before an offer is extended.
